I’m confused. The article doesn’t say anything about another person around, other than the woman who saw Brackett on fire,,there was no car or anyone fleeing the scene? No statement from the service station attendant? Maybe there was a spark of some sort,,or a cigarette hit a puddle of gas? Other than reporter saying this man was attacked, and the fact the police are treating it as an attempted murder,,there is nothing in the article that contains those elements. The reporting in this article is just shoddy.
